Around the Block with Matlock

Today was the final day of 7in7challenge where several PAX completed 7 workouts in 7 days. Warm up began in the parking lot as the FIA group was arriving. It’s uncanny how Flo’s wife can discern when Flo is the instigator of a practical joke. We circled up, requiring each PAX to ring around the rosey while others did SSHs, Good Mornings, Sun Goddesses, and 4x4s. We then moseyed to Main Street and alternated sprints and moseys to First Baptist Church.

The Thang: we each grabbed a block while the Q attempted to load his awesome Christian playlist on Itunes. When the Q experienced technical difficulties he resorted to his “secular” playlist that began with ACDC. The Q eventually explained Around the Block with Matlock which consisted of the following ladders:

• 10 squat thrusts, 10 flutter kicks, and 10 Burpos, run to Main Street (“Thank you Jesus”) and return; 9 of same all the way down to 1.
• After a short recovery-another ladder of 10 curls, 10 WWIIs, and 10 tricep extensions, run around church column and return; all the way down to 1.
• A short walk to Main Street was followed by a mosey to “Magnolia’s Bear Crawl” (next to PAX Magnolia’s house) where we engaged in an ascending BC of 1 derkin, BC to opposite curb, 2 tricep dips, crab walk to opposite curb, then 3 derkins, etc., up to 10.
• Short sprint on the boardwalk to first bench, where we split into two groups, 1 did 25 muscle ups while other completed 25 Freddie Mercury’s; groups alternated.
• Mosey back to the AO.

Final exercises: due to time constraints, only a few rounds of Captain Thor, concluding with a broad jump burpee to center; Count O Rama, Name O Rama, followed by COT. Spoken and unspoken prayers lifted up, many blessings received this day. Most thankful for Jesus who came to save us from our sins! Praise God.
